in which a wigglytuff expresses some political disgruntlement
kinda tired of the black and white thinking people are applying to this uber strike and the like.
there ARE ways people can be pushed into 'being a scab'. disabled people are the perspective i'm working towards here for instance. like, yeah, it sucks.
but be mad at the system that fails both the workers AND the disabled person forced to rely on that same shitty system, not at the disabled person.
Hot strike take
@lesbianhacker @melissasage i'm fine with that if it also means accepting that calling some people scabs is done by sucking it up and accepting that they're perpetuating ableism in this manner.
many places doesn't equal all places. most doctors and specialists, especially those with draconian policies of attendance, have waitlists of months and penalties for skipping an appointment of 100 dollars or more, etc - in short, there's plenty of ways for disabled people to get caught.
Hot strike take
@melissasage there are situations when it can do a lot more than just inconvenience, though, and i wish people would remember to temper their ire in those situations.
for example, disabled people often end up relying on things like uber or lyft (public transport doesn't go to doctors, or anywhere, around here). disabled people also are often caught in shitty policies at doctors of the "if you miss an appointment, you don't get the medicine you need, eat shit" type.
apparently another youtube celebrity is self-destructing because his I'm A White Bro And My Bad Ideas Cannot Be Contained bubbled over
quelle surprise at someone being buddies with jontron and ending up being a rubbish motherfucker
anyway prozd is the only dude youtuber i remotely care about so the rest of 'em can burn
before anyone accuses me of knowing anything about music the cupcakke track i know and am very fond of and like... the only track... because... i am bad at listening to music, is biggie smalls
it's really fucking good though
major tw for ed/body issues/fatphobia but it's fuckin great https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S28DAeCfLyA and a song you should know for this summer if people start trying to bodyshame you, just play it on repeat louder and louder until you drown out their shit
Diss track I made in response to a Pewdiepie and Boyinaband video
@Shonalika fucking hell, your bravery is stunning. thank you for speaking out - and making a damn good rap track in the process.
(not that i know that much about rap, but hey, maybe you and cupcakke can collab to continue dunking on shitty-ass white boys. i can dream, right?)
Diss track I made in response to a Pewdiepie and Boyinaband video
So… In the days before I was Online, I met David Brown/Boyinaband. I was technically in a relationship with him until a month ago, when he uh, released a collaboration with Pewdiepie. Context for this in the video description.
This was really intimidating to upload. But given what had happened, I couldn’t just stay quiet.
new manderville quests DONE, new dance GET
i saw an opportunity for a discount #ffxiv meme, so please have this as well
@gingerrroot i think it works pretty well because like
reaction to fuckery of ww1:dada art ::
reaction to fuckery of economic recession/trauma of current life : shitposting
@gingerrroot for double pretention points tho a slightly different direction - i've seen shitposting considered as a contemporary variant of dadaism
e-dada or cyber-dada are the terms i'm most fond of using there, since modern dada is like... post ww2, because "modern art" is a bit of a fucky term
also gives you an excuse to just put this image as a full page in your paper
job hunt
@woomy if they give you any flak for sneaking some in, say that you received a complaint about that particular machine and wanted to test it out for yourself and therefore you're actually just being a really good model employee ;)
good luck/congrats/condolences to all them for whom that is their fetish: now you know what you're in for
also best wishes for meeting the in-laws there
shoutout to the group i got for trial roul in #ffxiv for not only being willing to do kugane ohashi/stormblood manderville trial and nobody bailing out, but doing it in one go, and someone even generously gave me a comm for dying the second time at 8% and spending my time on the floor making jokes
also MANDERVILLE TIME
racism, classism
@pandora_parrot i would say that it's almost always in service of classism/racism, intent of the person speaking disregarded entirely - the idea is really just redlining but with a new mask on.
i may also just be wanting to write the one clone trooper oc i have, Helena of Nightshrike squad
who is, as you might imagine, trans. mostly i want to write all the other clones completely accepting it as routine lol. y'know, you get picked out for specializations; you could be a gunner, or a medic, or something else, Helena just took the Girl specialization along with grenadier. i mean she's got the piece of paper saying she's recognized by law to know how to wield that lipstick and everything
anyway i need to rewatch the clone wars series bc i just really like clone troopers as characters
all of them are wrestling with the fundamental issue of the purpose they were born for, and all operate in this space of "nobody really cares about us, except *us*; it's a welcome shock when someone sees you as an actual person like they are, but don't get used to it. in the end, you only have your brothers", which is just... interesting and often profound
